Led by award-winning designer — Eric Spurlock — we craft homes as remarkable and deeply personal as the lives lived within them
About Eric Spurlock
For over two decades, Eric Spurlock has been designing award-winning homes across the globe. His journey began at the University of New Mexico, where he made a pivotal shift from pre-med to pursue his true passion: architecture.
He went on to study Architecture and Structural Design and graduated in 1985.
During his studies, Eric worked under the late Steven Hacker, a renowned builder in Albuquerque, where he led design efforts on several high-profile communities, including Tanoan Country Club, Winterwood Park, Executive Hills, Leslie Park, and Burnhamwood Estates.
By the time he graduated, Eric had already built a reputation as a standout talent. In 1985, he launched Eric Spurlock Custom Home Design, which quickly grew from a local firm into a nationally recognized name, with design offices in Miami, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Albuquerque, and Santa Fe.
A house is much more than a mere shelter — it should lift us emotionally and spiritually.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Since 1985
Based in New Mexico, Eric Spurlock Custom Home Design, LLC has spent over 40 years designing one-of-a-kind homes that reflect your life, style, and vision — never from a template. Every home is a personal collaboration, crafted with care, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to making it truly yours. Working directly with Eric, you’ll experience a streamlined, fully custom design process—often completed in half the time and at half the cost of traditional custom homes.
HOW THE PROCESS UNFOLDS
Designing a custom home is far more than choosing finishes or drafting floorplans—it’s a deeply personal and creative journey. At Eric Spurlock Custom Home Design, we transform your needs and inspirations into timeless, luxurious spaces.
Step One: Let’s Talk!
Every remarkable project begins with a conversation—whether at our Albuquerque office, at our Santa Fe location (SHO Design & Home Group), or on-site—where you’ll meet with Eric to explore your vision, goals, and the overall scope of the project. From the initial consultation to the final details, Eric is with you every step of the way. He takes the time to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and priorities, then creates early conceptual sketches that capture the essence of your future home—completely custom, with no templates, just a vision uniquely yours.
PHASE I: Design Development
With a rapid turnaround following your initial concept meeting with Eric, you’ll quickly have layouts and visuals in hand—something tangible to begin refining together. Through a series of relaxed, collaborative design meetings, you and Eric will explore ideas, clarify your vision, and shape the foundation of your future home. This phase is all about creativity, discovery, thoughtful refinement, and open conversation.
PHASE II: Final Design & Construction Plans
Once the final design and exterior elevations are approved, Eric and his skilled team translate your vision into detailed construction drawings—blueprints that bring your home to life. These documents are then prepared for submission to your builder. Our firm handles all necessary engineering coordination and ensures your plans are permit-ready, paving the way for a seamless transition into construction. Thanks to our deep industry experience and long-standing relationships, we can also help connect you with a builder whose approach aligns with you, your budget, and your timeline.
PHASE III: Interior Detailing & Finishes
As your home takes shape, Eric brings the interiors to life—selecting with you every finish, fixture, and detail with purpose and style. From curated color palettes to standout lighting and elegant hardware, each element is chosen to enhance the architecture and reflect your vision. It’s an inspiring, evolving process that ensures your home feels as stunning inside as it looks from the outside.
